Real talk: Voting in California is actually easier than in many other states. Ballots magically land in our mailboxes. You can vote by mail or at any vote center in Orange County.
But deciding how to vote? That’s the hard part. And that’s what LAist's Voter Game Plan is here for.
The important thing is that you vote. We heard from a lot of voters asking us to add Orange County races to our voting guides, and we heard you. Let us know how we can help.
